Cox rules out Australian trip for Lethal Force

Trainer Clive Cox has revealed plans to send star sprinter Lethal Force on a trip to Australia later this year have been shelved.

Winner of the Diamond Jubilee Stakes at Royal Ascot, the four-year-old produced a scintillating display when breaking the Newmarket track record in the July Cup.

Having won a leg of the Global Sprint Challenge, the flying grey would have been eligible for a huge bonus if he did head Down Under and was successful in the Patinack Farm Classic at Flemington on November 9.
